Abstract
This teacher handbook aims to provide guidance on the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) framework at Minnesota Connections Academy (MNCA), an online public charter school with a focus on interventions in the secondary setting (Grades 6-12). This teacher handbook also has a focus on identifying the appropriate interventions, resources to find interventions, and the steps to MTSS at MNCA. This handbook also emphasizes the importance of selecting evidence-based interventions, fidelity, and collaboration among staff, leadership and families. It also highlights the role of data based decision making, evaluating intervention effectiveness, and progress monitoring, while also recognizing multilingual learners and the limited research in MTSS within the secondary setting and online environment.
